AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
I say that a lot don't I? Sorry, but this is getting a little old.
I got the SuperDriver and was only dissapointed that it didn't come on a blue
disk with a red & yellow label. But I guess silly marketing stuff isn't
necesary with real computers, just pea seas.
The instructions were incredibly simple. Make a backup, boot from it and
format /s0.
And the computer locked up again. So please excuse me for repeating myself, but
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
Now I'd better quit that before the men in white coats find me.
My so-called brain is starting to work though. I suddenly remembered that this
is what happens when I turn the computer on with RGB-DOS (I don't have HDB-DOS
yet) with the controller plugged in but the drive off or disconnected. Turning
the drive off under NitrOS-9 doesn't change anything.
The drive, cable, controler, etc, work perfectly with RGB-DOS, so apparently
the problem is that the NitrOS-9 drivers are not finding the drive or
controller.
There are address jumpers inside the controller cartridge. What is the correct
setting for them?
I was wondering about them specificaly because Mark said something about
making shure the old RGB-DOS was conpatible with my Disto SC-1 6 or 7 years
ago. Is there an address conflict somewhere?
